Principle
Measure first, then decide
Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: first the lab report, then the decision.

Ory experts are there for you
Doctors and non-medical practitioners from the Ory team are with you all the way — for the lab report and everything after.
What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.
Details
What this analysis covers
What is measured
The full kynurenine axis, serotonin and catecholamines by LC-MS from one urine sample.
The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.
To the biomarker reference
For whom
The test suits exhaustion, brain fog, sleep problems or stress intolerance, where a particularly precise, LC-MS-based picture of tryptophan metabolism beyond the standard panels is wanted.
What a single value means in your situation is something to discuss with a practitioner. It does not replace medical assessment.
How it works
Four steps from order to lab report.
- 01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
- 02 Collect urine Urine sample at home with the material provided.
- 03 Send it in Post it in the postage-paid envelope.
- 04 Get your lab report 7–21 days after the sample arrives.
Instructions
The essentials first:
- Collect the urine sample in the container provided, as described in the instructions.
- Close the sample tube tightly and label it.
- Send it in the postage-paid envelope, as soon as possible after collection.
Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters: it is what allows your sample – stool, urine, saliva or blood – to be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Sending your sample back
So that your sample reaches the laboratory safely, please follow the rule for your country.
| Country | Postage | Shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | Already paid | Return postage is prepared, you do not need a stamp. |
| Austria | Add your own postage | To our address in Vienna, not to Germany. |
| Switzerland | Add your own postage | Separate return bag for Switzerland, sent to Germany. |
| Rest of Europe | Add your own postage | Sent to Germany. |
In short: Germany, everything is ready. Austria, add postage and send to Vienna. Switzerland, add postage, special bag, send to Germany. Rest of Europe, add postage and send to Germany.
